Woman mercilessly guns down man at South Carolina gas station

Deputies say while the gun was pointed at the man, his girlfriend pulled her own weapon and shot at the robbers.

According to some, this absolutely NEVER EVER happens, and is simply a myth.

I heard the same thing also, defensive use of firearms by citizens just doesn't happen or is a rare occurrence.

said just the other day that using a gun to defend oneself only 'happens in the movies.'

I think this post should be in GD as it appears the so-called "guns exception"' is more or less permanent. I believe that just one (1) person can rule that a gun-related posting is Kosher, which possibly explains the constant and uninterrupted gun postings in GD. This is merely my opinion, based on conversations with those in the know.

I think that the rules are picked up through osmosis. If you're there long enough, you figure it out. I have only posted there a couple of times, I'm mostly here or LBN.

Of senseless gun violence. He was just robbing folks and a rude toter saw a chance to commit murder so escalated the situation.
